See how John Deere, Ecorobotix, GUSS, Carbon Robotics and Graco Inc. are reshaping a precision sprayer market projected to reach USD 7.2 billion by 2035.
Market Transformation and Growth Outlook
We observed that precision spraying is moving from a niche upgrade to a core tool on modern farms. Our analysis indicates the precision sprayer market will grow from USD 2.4 billion in 2025 to USD 7.2 billion by 2035, a CAGR of 11.5%.
Growers are moving away from blanket spraying and toward machines that treat only the plants that need it. Rising chemical input costs and tighter application windows are speeding up this change. Machine vision, AI targeting, and simpler ordering options are making the shift practical for more operators.

Our reading shows that USD 4.8 billion of new value will come from growers adopting targeted spraying over the decade. Based on our assessment, most of that gain will come from farms that cut chemical volumes while keeping yields steady.
John Deere
John Deere, headquartered in Moline, Illinois, is one of the largest agricultural equipment makers in the world. The company builds tractors, combines, and application equipment, and sells them through a wide dealer network across North America and beyond. The precision sprayer market shapes Deere's strategy because sprayers tie machine sales to ongoing data, parts, and crop input services.
In its Model Year 2027 application portfolio update, Deere introduced See & Spray Gen 2, a unified platform that replaces the earlier Select, Premium, and Ultimate levels. Farmers and custom applicators can now choose a single or dual tank setup and add full boom lighting for night work. We noticed that simpler ordering removes friction for smaller operators, which directly addresses the cost barrier slowing adoption. Sources: Deere & Company newsroom
Based on our evaluation, Deere holds one of the strongest strategic positions in the precision sprayer market. Its scale in machines, dealer reach, and data platforms lets it spread development costs across a large installed base. The main test ahead is whether simpler packages can attract midsize farms without eroding margins on premium options.
"We understand the increasing pressures farmers are facing, driving them to find solutions that allow them more flexibility and the opportunity to do more with less."

Ecorobotix
Ecorobotix is a Swiss precision agriculture company headquartered in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland. It began as an agricultural robotics start up and now focuses on plant level crop protection. Its flagship product, the ARA sprayer, applies crop protection products and fertilizers with ultra high precision. The precision sprayer market is central to Ecorobotix because its entire value proposition depends on growers adopting targeted spraying.
In March 2026, Ecorobotix announced a USD 50 million investment over three years to assemble the ARA sprayer for the U.S. market in Lyons, Kansas. The work will be carried out with KMW, a Kansas based manufacturer, and the company expects more than 80 new U.S. jobs. We noticed that local assembly shortens the supply chain and helps the company adapt machines to specialty crop systems. Sources: Ecorobotix blog and press release, ARA Field Sprayer product page
Our assessment indicates Ecorobotix is positioning itself as a premium specialist with a North American foothold. The company states that ARA can cut product use by up to 95%, a figure we have not independently verified. If the U.S. assembly delivers on its timeline, Ecorobotix could gain a real edge with specialty crop growers.
GUSS Automation
GUSS Automation is based in Fresno, California, and builds autonomous spray systems for orchard and vineyard growers. The company focuses on tree and vine crops, where spray precision and labor savings matter most. The precision spr
